Pathways Partner Network

Breaking Cycles... Together.

Anchored Pathways to Higher Education works alongside churches, schools, and community leaders to make sure no family has to figure out college alone. The Pathways Partner Network is how we do this, together.

Why This Matters

College access should not depend on who you know.

Over 45% of Houston-area households speak a language other than English at home, and nearly one in three students are the first in their families to attend college.

The barrier is not motivation.
It’s translation, cost, systems, and trust.

Without clear guidance, these families face the greatest obstacles to completing financial aid and enrollment.

We step in where families are already active: churches, youth programs, schools, neighborhood groups, ESL classes, and community centers.

When you partner with Anchored Pathways, you’re opening a trusted doorway for families who have questions and don’t know who to ask.

Who Can Partner

The Pathways Partner Network is designed for groups who care about students and are ready to take one small step.

What partners commit to

Your commitment is simple.

Invite us into your space and introduce us to your families.
Help us understand what your students or parents are most worried about.
Give us a point of contact so we can coordinate with you.

That is it.

There is no cost to become a Pathways Partner. We are not selling a program.

We are building a relationship of support.

What partners receive

What your organization gets back.

Direct support for your families in both English and Spanish.
Priority scheduling for FAFSA/TASFA and college planning workshops.
Early access to resource guides and event materials you can share.
Recognition as a Pathways Partner on our website and printed materials.
A trusted referral path. When a student from your community needs help, you know where to send them.

Churches & Faith Communities

You already know who is struggling. You see the exact moment when a student wants to give up or a parent feels embarrassed to ask about financial aid. We come to you. We sit with families. We give hope and information, side by side, in English and Spanish.

Schools & Counselors

Your team is overloaded. We understand that completely. We support counselors and success coaches by offering parent nights, FAFSA/TASFA support, and direct guidance for students who need more than a handout. We respect your process. We do not recruit or replace. We stand next to you.

Community Organizations & Local Programs

Community centers, youth programs, sports programs, GED and ESL programs, and neighborhood groups. If you serve families who could benefit from college, workforce training, or financial aid guidance, we will come to you and support your families directly.

Business Partners / Sponsors

Local businesses can underwrite workshop materials, meals for families who attend, or technology support (for example printing FAFSA forms or scholarship documents). Sponsorship helps remove real barriers like transportation and child care.
